Holly F. Ferguson
LOW Residence: Section 10
Introduction:
I moved to LOWA in 2015 with two young children. I have been in the medical field for 25 years and a nurse in several settings for 15 years. In 2022, I started my own business as owner of Heels & Wheels Towing. After previously surviving 10 years of domestic violence, I now enjoy a wonderful marriage.
Education and Training: Nursing degree
Relevant Experience: Ran and managed expenses on a limited budget as a single-parent household while working full-time. I’ve held positions such as: evening Nurse Supervisor of a large nursing facility, Account Executive for a home health agency, and developed a successful towing business.
LOWA Committees: None. Therefore, I have no pre-conceived limitations or biases.
Community Service: My careers are based on community service. I have also participated in health events, school events, SAFE, and volunteered with Lake of the Woods Church’s Home Helps ministry.
Why Do You Want to Serve on The Board?
I am running for the LOWA Board because, over the last 10 years, I have seen many areas needing improvement. Membership dues have almost doubled and there are no new amenities. The mindset that the amenities do not need to pay their own expenses is totally wrong. They should actually supplement our HOA membership fees. The HOA is not a "non-profit" corporation. We need to change our perspective into expecting each amenity to pay its own expenses. With over 4,000 lots, there are plenty of people to utilize our amenities. They just need to be managed properly. I care about a healthy balance to make our community enjoyable for all ages.
What Do You Think Is the Most Pressing Issue Facing LOWA?
The most pressing issue in order to achieve improvements is to fill the LOWA Board seats with individuals who are business savvy, can critically think, and meet the needs of all ages in our community.
Personal Strengths:
Insightful, determined, confident, outspoken, innovative thinker, fresh perspective, collaborates well with others. Not your normal run-of-the-mill LOWA Board member.
What do you see as the most important Short- and Long-Term Goal:
Short-Term: Get members to vote for new BOD members with fresh ideas and perspectives.
Long-Term Goal: Set up new practices to run an efficient HOA that is cost-effective and member friendly.
